- Fixed: Bug which caused long plugin scan and loading times on computers not connected to the internet, including longer session load times for MultiRack, SoundGrid Rack for Venue, and eMotion LV1.
V10 – February 14, 2019
- Compatibility with Waves plugins V10, including Abbey Road Chambers, TRACT Sound System Calibration, PRS SuperModels, Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain, Sibilance, CLA MixHub.
- Test Redundancy feature: When using a redundant SoundGrid Server, you can easily test your backup server to ensure that it is able to handle the session being processed by the main server; simply click the “Test Redundancy” button from the SoundGrid Server menu. This is especially important when the two servers are not identical.
- Easily rescan licenses: If you’re preparing inserts and routing for a session without access to Waves licenses via a USB flash drive, plugins will load in a disabled state. The plugins won’t process audio, but you can assign inserts and load plugin presets. Once the licenses are connected, select “Rescan all disabled plugins” from SoundGrid Rack’s LOAD Menu and available plugins will be enabled.
- Bug fixes.
